If the weather outside has you longing for the warmth of a Caribbean island, tropical anthurium provides a vicarious vacation. Snuggle multiple 6-inch pots of this waxy, exotic-looking bloomer in a planter. For additional lushness, incorporate a variety of ferns and trailing angel vine to soften your arrangement.
Light: Indirect light; a bright location near a window.
Water: Keep the soil slightly damp. Do not allow the plant to sit in a water-filled saucer for more than 10 minutes.
Insider’s tip: Occasionally place all plants in the sink and give them a rinse with warm water. Check the plant stand and saucers for standing water and plant debris.
Expect to pay: $10-$15 for a 6-inch pot.
